Brazilian esports organisation FURIA has reached the top of the global Valve Regional Standings (VRS) for November 2025, moving up from second place.

Unlike previous months, the November VRS isn’t being used to determine which teams receive invitations to upcoming Counter-Strike 2 events.

FURIA’s rise to the top of the November VRS is a result of a strong run of form across several Tier 1 events. In September, the team defeated The MongolZ to win FISSURE Playground 2, while October saw it complete a reverse sweep against NAVI to secure the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 title.

FURIA knocks The MongolZ off the top of the global standings, which drops down to fourth after failing to qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 22 Playoffs.

The November VRS includes some significant moves. The Brazilian side of Legacy moves into the top ten, an increase of 19 places after securing its first notable LAN victory at the CS Asia Championship 2025.

Elsewhere, SAW has broken into the top 15, advancing 12 places. Meanwhile, TYLOO has dropped out of the top 20 after reaching a peak of ninth in the September standings.

With November’s VRS not determining any invitations to upcoming tournaments, the standings offer fans insight into which teams are heading into the StarLadder Budapest Major with form on their side.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
